What is AI Agents From Scratch?

AI Agents From Scratch is learn to build AI agents step by step without frameworks.

About

AI Agents From Scratch is a hands-on learning series designed for developers who want to understand how to build AI agents from first principles. This repository provides step-by-step examples using local LLMs and node-llama-cpp, covering fundamental concepts, agent architectures, and the reasoning behind design choices in frameworks. It emphasizes learning through building and offers a progressive learning path.

Strengths

  • Hands-on approach to learning AI agent development
  • Comprehensive examples with detailed explanations
  • Focus on understanding fundamental concepts
  • No reliance on external frameworks for initial learning
  • Encourages experimentation and deep understanding

Limitations

  • Requires local setup and model downloads
  • May be complex for complete beginners
  • Limited to Node.js environment
  • Not a production-ready framework
  • Focuses on educational purposes rather than deployment
